FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to a vehicle vision system for a vehicle and, more particularly, to a vehicle vision system that utilizes one or more cameras at a vehicle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Use of imaging sensors in vehicle imaging systems is common and known. Examples of such known systems are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,949,331; 5,670,935 and/or 5,550,677, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. It is known to process captured image data to detect objects in the field of view of the vehicle camera or cameras. Typically, the structure of static objects is estimated via the use of moving cameras. However, in known formulations, as soon as the object starts to move, the estimation of the structure is typically erroneous and no longer valid.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a collision avoidance system or vision system or imaging system for a vehicle that utilizes one or more cameras (preferably one or more CMOS cameras) to capture image data representative of images exterior of the vehicle, and provides an estimation of an object motion relative to the vehicle and camera. The movement of the camera as the vehicle moves can be determined via vehicle movement (speed, altitude, direction, roll, pitch, yaw) information and the movement of the object is determined via the mathematical model and equations of the system of the present invention.

The present invention provides for simultaneous estimation of motion and structure of a moving object using a moving camera. The method and system of the present invention incorporates the estimation of the motion and structure of the unknown object into the same paradigm. This allows for better and more reliable estimation of the object structure as well as motion. The method and system of the present invention can be incorporated into object detection and/or three dimensional (3D) reconstruction algorithms that can benefit from the enhanced estimation of object structure and motion.

These and other objects, advantages, purposes and features of the present invention will become apparent upon review of the following specification in conjunction with the drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

A vehicle vision system and/or driver assist system and/or object detection system and/or alert system operates to capture images exterior of the vehicle and may process the captured image data to display images and to detect objects at or near the vehicle and in the predicted path of the vehicle, such as to assist a driver of the vehicle in maneuvering the vehicle in a rearward direction. The vision system includes an image processor or image processing system that is operable to receive image data from one or more cameras and provide an output to a display device for displaying images representative of the captured image data. Optionally, the vision system may provide a top down or bird's eye or surround view display and may provide a displayed image that is representative of the subject vehicle, and optionally with the displayed image being customized to at least partially correspond to the actual subject vehicle.

Referring now to the drawings and the illustrative embodiments depicted therein, a vehicle 10 includes an imaging system or vision system 12 that includes at least one exterior facing imaging sensor or camera, such as a rearward facing imaging sensor or camera 14 a (and the system may optionally include multiple exterior facing imaging sensors or cameras, such as a forwardly facing camera 14 b at the front (or at the windshield) of the vehicle, and a sidewardly/rearwardly facing camera 14 c, 14 d at respective sides of the vehicle), which captures images exterior of the vehicle, with the camera having a lens for focusing images at or onto an imaging array or imaging plane or imager of the camera (FIG. 1). Optionally, a forward viewing camera may be disposed at the windshield of the vehicle and view through the windshield and forward of the vehicle, such as for a machine vision system (such as for traffic sign recognition, headlamp control, pedestrian detection, collision avoidance, lane marker detection and/or the like). The vision system 12 includes a control or electronic control unit (ECU) or processor 18 that is operable to process image data captured by the camera or cameras and may detect objects or the like and/or provide displayed images at a display device 16 for viewing by the driver of the vehicle (although shown in FIG. 1 as being part of or incorporated in or at an interior rearview mirror assembly 20 of the vehicle, the control and/or the display device may be disposed elsewhere at or in the vehicle). The data transfer or signal communication from the camera to the ECU may comprise any suitable data or communication link, such as a vehicle network bus or the like of the equipped vehicle.

Surround awareness and driver assistance is a marketable feature for vision systems. Generic object detection using a fish eye camera is one such feature. Distance estimation in the scene is desired to add value to existing detection based algorithms (such as, for example, object detection (OD), blind spot detection (BSD), automatic parking spot detection or the like), and to provide a stand-alone distance estimation feature.

Distance estimation is a triangulation-based structure from motion (SfM) problem, which requires the information on corresponding feature points in consecutive images and camera parameters at each viewpoint of the moving camera. A triangulation-based method can only provide a reasonable solution to the application scenarios such as a moving vehicle with a stationary background and a stationary vehicle with moving objects.

In reality, it is often required to estimate the distance of a moving object from a moving vehicle, which leads to a challenging issue on structure and motion estimation of a moving object using a moving camera (SaMfM). Such a structure and motion estimation of a moving object using a moving camera (SaMfM) violates the principle of traditional triangulation-based solution for distance estimation. Most past developments centered around the solutions by applying different constraints to trajectories and velocities of the moving objects and simultaneous estimation of moving object and moving camera.

The present invention provides a solution for structure and motion estimation of a moving object from a known moving camera. The moving camera extrinsic parameters are retrieved from vehicle CAN messages or signals (such as velocity and trajectory information or data). The system develops solutions with respect to two different constraints on trajectories of a rigid object, which are object translation at a constant speed in a certain time period, and object translation at an arbitrary speed in a certain time period.

The present invention establishes a two-view constraint for motion ΔX and structure X of a moving object point:

x _(t−1) ^(T) E {circumflex over (x)} _(t) =x _(t−1) ^(T) E P _(t) ΔX;   (1)

where correspondent feature points x_(t−1)⇄{circumflex over (x)}_(t); camera projection matrix (3×4 matrix) at t: P_(t); camera motion: R, T

3×3 essential matrix: E=[T]_(x)R

The method or system of the present invention may, in step 1, detect object features in a captured image view, and in step 2 perform feature correspondence analysis between two views or feature tracking in consecutive views, and in step 3, given a certain number of correspondent feature pairs, solve equation (1) to provide an estimate of object motion ΔX. For this, an SVD method can be used. Step 4 then calculates the structure of an object point X by using image projection equations along with the estimated ΔX.

In the case of a 3D translation

${{\Delta \; X} = \begin{bmatrix} {\Delta \; X} \\ {\Delta \; Y} \\ {\Delta \; Z} \\ \alpha \end{bmatrix}},$

for an object of an arbitrary translation (arbitrary speed in a particular time period), a minimum of three non-co-linear corresponding point pairs from two views are required to find a solution of ΔX using equation (1) above. For an object of constant translation (constant speed in a particular time period), only one feature object point, which is tracked in a minimum of four views, may be required to find a solution of ΔX using equation (1).

In the case of a two dimensional (2D) translation

${{\Delta \; X} = \begin{bmatrix} {\Delta \; X} \\ {\Delta \; Y} \\ 0 \\ \alpha \end{bmatrix}},$

for an object of an arbitrary translation (arbitrary speed in a particular time period), a minimum two non-co-linear corresponding point pairs from two views are required to find a solution of ΔX using equation (1) above. For an object of constant translation (constant speed in a particular time period), only one feature object point, which is tracked in a minimum of three views, may be required to find a solution of ΔX using equation (1).

The algorithm and system and method of the present invention is operable to estimate the displacement of a rigid object in the real world from two or multiple views, given that camera information at each viewpoint and image corresponding points are available. In the case of a moving object having an arbitrary translation, a minimum of three corresponding object point pairs from two views are needed for estimation of 3D object translation, while a minimum of two corresponding point pairs are required for 2D object displacement. In case of a moving object having a constant translation, one feature point, tracked in a minimum of four views, is needed for estimation of 3D object translation, while one feature point, tracked in a minimum of three views, is required for 2D object displacement.

As shown in FIG. 4, from time instant t−1 to t, the object is moving from position X to X+ΔX, while the camera/vehicle movement is R, T. The camera projection matrix is P_(t−1) and P_(t). The image features x_(t−1) and x_(t) are the projection of a moving object at position X onto the camera at time instant t−1 and t, and {circumflex over (x)}_(t) is the projection of a moving object at position X+ΔX onto camera at time instant t.

From epipolar geometry (a 3×3 matrix):

x _(t−) ^(T) E x _(t)=0   (2)

From projection geometry (a 3×4 matrix):

x _(t−1) =P _(t−1) X   (3)

x _(t) =P _(t) X   (4)

{circumflex over (x)} _(t) =P _(t) (X+ΔX)   (5)

Note that x and X are the homogeneous representations of the 2D and 3D positions of the object.

The known information or parameters include (from vehicle CAN information) the camera projection matrix (3×4 matrix) P_(t−1), P_(t), and camera motion (R, T→3×3 essential matrix: E=[T]_(x)R. From feature corresponding analysis, the corresponding point pair (x_(t−1)⇄{circumflex over (x)}_(t)) is also known.

The unknown parameters to be estimated (reconstruction up to a scale) include the object position X and the object translation ΔX.

The solution involves the following steps, with Step 1 (from equations (4) and (5) above) solving the equations:

{circumflex over (x)} _(t) =P _(t) (X+ΔX)=x _(t) +P _(t) ΔX   (6)

which results in: x _(t) ={circumflex over (x)} _(t) −P _(t) ΔX   (7)

Step 2 replaces x_(t) of equation (2) in equation (7):

x _(t−1) ^(T) E x _(t) =x _(t−1) E ({circumflex over (x)}_(t) −P _(t) ΔX)=0   (8)

which results in: x _(t−1) ^(T) E {circumflex over (x)} _(t) =x _(t−1) ^(T) E P _(t) ΔX   (9)

Equation (9) thus provides one two-view constraint for a moving object point.

Now, In the case of the 3D translation

${{\Delta \; X} = \begin{bmatrix} {\Delta \; X} \\ {\Delta \; Y} \\ {\Delta \; Z} \\ \alpha \end{bmatrix}},$

for an object of an arbitrary translation (arbitrary speed in a particular time period), a minimum of three non-colinear corresponding point pairs from two views are required to find a solution of ΔX using equation (9) above. For an object of constant translation (constant speed in a particular time period), only one feature object point, which is tracked in a minimum of four views, may be required to find a solution of ΔX using equation (9).

${{\Delta \; X} = \begin{bmatrix} {\Delta \; X} \\ {\Delta \; Y} \\ 0 \\ \alpha \end{bmatrix}},$

In the case of a 2D translation for an object of an arbitrary translation (arbitrary speed in a particular time period), a minimum two non-colinear corresponding point pairs from two views are required to find a solution of ΔX using equation (9) above. For an object of constant translation (constant speed in a particular time period), only one feature object point, which is tracked in a minimum of three views, may be required to find a solution of ΔX using equation (9).

Thus, the coordinates (structure) X of a moving object point are calculated by using equations (3) and (4) along with the estimated ΔX.

The method and system of the present invention thus may determine the motion or path of the vehicle responsive to vehicle system inputs, such as inputs from or indicative of the vehicle steering wheel angle and/or vehicle speed and/or the like, and determines the motion and relative motion of an object in the field of view of the camera.
